Outliers in toxicological studies can occur due to several reasons:
Measurement Errors: Inaccuracies in data collection instruments or human error can result in aberrant values. Biological Variability: Intrinsic biological differences among test subjects can lead to unexpected responses to a toxicant. Experimental Conditions: Variability in experimental setups, such as temperature or humidity, can introduce outliers. Data Entry Errors: Mistakes in recording or transcribing data can cause outliers.
